Transcripts For MSNBCW PoliticsNation With Al Sharpton 20160814

This is politics nation with al sharpton. Good morning. Im al sharpon the. We start with some history. 8 years ago we were all shocked with sarah palin said this about Barrack Obama. This is not a man who sees america as you and i see america. Our opponent is someone who sees america as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists that targeted their own country. Now the rhetoric from donald trump is even worse. He is the founder of isis. He is the founder of isis. He said the president was the founder of isis. You meant he created the vacuum. No, i meant hes the founder of isis. I doful hes the most valuable player. I call president obama and Hillary Clinton the founders of isis. Theyre the founders. Its obvious what this is all about. Our latest nbc poll shows 72 of republicans have doubts about whether president obama was born in the u. S. 72 . Thats not a fringe. Its the base. And its why the republicans are in trouble. Hillary clintons electoral map is expanding. Trumps map is shrinking. He is getting desperate and so are his supporters. Thats why it is so dangerous when trump talked about how Second Amendment people could try to stop clinton. If she gets to pick her judges, theres nothing you can do folks. Although the Second Amendment people. Lets be clear. Trump is playing with fire. Trumps vicious talk excites his supporters in the crowd to take it even further as the New York Times showed in this video. If there are any leaders left in the Republican Party they must take a stand against trumps rhetoric or except the verdict. Joining me now is the former governor of michigan where trumps hopes are fading and major reed of Atlanta Georgia where clintons hopes are rising. Thank you for being here. You bet. Thank you so much. Governor, where is the out cry on the right about trumps rhetoric . That is exactly the question. What are these candidates saying. Where is rob portman on this . I think im almost tired of the out rage of day that donald trump is expressing but and i think voters are getting this. You see this with all the polls that came out this week in the swing states and georgia he is headed for where are the candidates that hitched their wagons to them. If they want to save themselves they should be expressing out rage and say this is not acceptable in a democracy. Have you ever seen anything like it at the national level. I havent. We have an obligation to put an end to this campaignhat donald trump has been running. Losing a state like georgia so we have been encouraging that everybody should do our part on the democratic side. To put an end frankenstein is an appropriate example of donald trump. Even when he is given an opportunity to show he is a serious person that cares about people other than himself he doubles down on the most horrible rhetoric that anyone has ever deployed. Let me ask you governor on what the mayor raises about the base. When we look at dozens, send a letter urging the rnc to cutoff funds for trump and focus on saving themselves. If this selfinterest the only thing you see to prompt republicans to part ways with trump. The door is cracking open and i think that responsible people have a moment to say this is not who we are and if we can trouns him in november it will put that frankenstein back in the crate never to emerge again. We want to send a signal that who we are as americans is what you saw at the democratic convention. We are defining our patriotism by this american exceptionalism which is our diversity. This is who we are and we can send a message as a people, including republicans that are thoughtful and including all republicans i would hope but at least the ones that we know can form a very broad majority so that this does not arise again. Let me go back to the politics that youre advancing. Trumps rhetoric is having an effect on public opinion. Trump has talked about it but he is down by nearly 7 . Clinton is now expanding into georgia where she is up by nearly 2 . In georgia almost always goes red. She is up by 2 . Could Trumps Campaign completely reshape the electoral map this time . I think it can. Georgia is winnable. If we put the resources that we put into North Carolina there its an entirely winnable state. In 1992, the last time that georgia was in the democrat president ial column it was with president clinton so theres a unique opportunity here and i think that everybody here on the ground, including a large number of republicans are ready to go to work to put this frankenstein back where ever it came from. Governor, you served as governor of michigan. I knew you then. You know the rust belt better than most. Why is donald trump challenged even in the rust belt where usually this sense of pop you lichl finds a bigger following . Because i think the people in the rust belt are smarter than what donald trump is giving them credit for. But just look at the economic plan that he rolled out this past week compared with Hillary Clintons economic planment what he talked about again is the same old tired trickle down strategies that have not worked, including getting rid of the estate tax which would benefit him, his family to the tune of 4 billion. He is just continuing to exacerbate income inequality. He didnt say how he was going to pay for it. That moodies study demonstrated if his policies were adopted it would put the u. S. Into a session where we lose 3. 5 million more jobs but if you contrast it with the message of pragmatism she was specific. She had strategies for the midwest and investing in advanced manufacturing and investing in infrastructure and how to pay for it. For lifting Small Businesses and making sure that peoples income are rising for incentivizing businesses and raising the minimum wage. We had policies that are hopeful and positive. The people in the rust belt, i dont like to use that term anymore but they want hope that you can build stock in america and stamp it made in america and export that and thats the hope she gave. We are running out of time but trump is a demagogue and back in the 50s he was brought down by this moment, a particular moment when he was confronted by his hateful talk by the top lawyer for the us. Army. Until this moment senator i think i never your cruelty or your rhetoric. Have you no sense of decency, sir at long last. Have you no sense of decency. Dont we need that kind of coverage for someone to confront dump like a paul ryan or Mitch Mcconnell . I think we do. I also think we need to make it clear that if you dont with draw your support or your endorsement of donald trump that the rest of us are never going to forgive failing to act. There was time to do something about it and if you needed more of an excuse than reference that donald trump made to president Barrack Obama founding a terrorist organization Whose Mission is to kill americans should be the moment that draws all republicans who love america to action. Thank you both for your time today. Have a great sunday. Thank you. You too. Up next, oneonone with geary johnson. The libertarian candidate for president and the alternative to trump. Plus the new Justice Department report on baltimore and president obamas legacy on policing. Nd allergens get between you and lifes beautiful moments.

Hes a fringe candidate. I look at him and i watch him and i watch his motions and i think that hes a fringe candida candidate. Donald trump says he is a fringe candidate but maybe he should tell that to republican lawmakers like congressman scott who supports gary johnson or to senator Susan Collins who says she could vote for johnson or the voters under 30 who support johnson and green pear candidate swrrks ill stein over trump. The latest poll has johnson at 10 . Joining me now is the libertarian president ial nominee gary johnson. Former governor of new mexicoful thanks first of all for being here. Absolutely reverend. Thank you for having me on. Let me ask you governor, donald trump says youre a fringe candidate. Anything youd like to say to trump . Oh, hes got it nailed on that one. Myself and bill both republican governors serving two terms in heavy democratic states being physically conservative and socially accepting, tolerant and when it comes to military interventions believing that when we support regime change, it has lead to the unintended consequence of making things worse, not better and were not isolationists. We do believe in free trade. We believe thats how we bring the world together so actually very sarcastically if thats fringe thats rereflective of most americans. Let me go to the point you were raising because as i stated youre starting to even get some gop endorsement. Youre outspending trump on television. All of this can help you get to the 15 that you would need to go into the debates, do you feel . Yeah, whats really key right now reverend is just being on the top line of those polls. But thats also reflecting just the dissatisfaction with the two of them and any third name right now is going to do pretty well. Im arguing of course that im not just any third name. Now i cone help but notice you talked about criminal Justice Reform. You talked about reforming these. Can this be a new way of expanding the support of the Libertarian Party . You taking these kinds of positions . Well, you pointed out im actually leading. Kids understand this that we need to do with mandatory sentencing. Three strikes youre out. Its got a lot of nonviolent victimless nonviolent people behind bars. Well, its sunday morning. Youre preaching to the choir on that one with me but let me go another step further in the debate, the libertarian candidate debate you asked a question about would you sign and support the 1964 Civil Rights Act . And you said yes. Let me play this for you. Governor johnson, the Civil Rights Act of 1954 ended discrimination in both the private sector and the public sector. If you had been in the senate how would you have voted . I would have voted for it. Now you had a mixed reaction. Some booed you and youre the only candidate that said you would have voted for it. Does it make you uncomfortable about those in the Libertarian Party movement. Im a libertarian nominee so they chose me as their spokesperson. I just think its important to not support discrimination in anyway whatsoever. Let me ask you this, in your quite moments when you have your time to reflect on what you have been through, what youre about, do you ever have any slight feeling that you may be taking votes from Hillary Clinton and helping to elect donald trump . Not in the least. I really think that if youre going to change things in this country you need to vote for who you believe in. Lets stop with these military interventions that should embrace immigration. Were a country of imgrants. Lets motte build a fence across the border and lets not be talking about killing the families of terrorists. Gary johnson, libertarian candidate for president. Thank you for your time. Reverend always thank you to you for your time. Straight ahead, how the obama Justice Department has raised the stake with Police Investigations in cities like baltimore. And later, Hillary Clinton has released her taxes. Why wont donald trump do the same . My bladder leakage made me feel like i couldnt be the father that i wanted to be. My kids see me as this rock of the family and a part of me felt like i became less of that hero to them but with depend, i have none of those concerns anymore. I can go all out.

That was president obamas head of the Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department talking about this scathing report on the Baltimore Police dlt. The investigation was launched at the death of freddie gray. It found they regular hi violated peoples constitutional rights. It revealed a problem. Racial discrimination. Unjustified stops and officers even scrip searched one woman during a stop over a missing headlight. Under president obama the Justice Department has launched reviews into over two dozen Police Departments across america. We have yet to see a career criminal Justice Reform legislation bill passed in congress but these investigations have already become a lasting part of president obamas legacy to reform policing in america. Joining me now is former federal prosecutor. Thank you. Great to be here reverend. How does it fit into the strategy of how president obama has add stressed the policing issue in america . Something you know have been real passionate about. What the president has been doing is providing official coon ration of stories americans have been telling for decades. So we can talk about the father and son and the Police Disperse them because theyre standing around toing nothing. You can talk about the woman that ended up strip searched. We can talk about the black man that was stopped 30 times. 30 times. Never had anything. My favorite is that one time the Baltimore Police department used a helicopter to break up. A helicopter . Now let me show you this. This was a town hall last month. President obama directly addressed the issue of race and policing. Watch this. Because of the history of this country and the legacy of race and all of the complications that are involved in that, working through these issues so that things can continue to get better is going to take some time. Its going to take awhile to get to the point where we want to be but nobody is more hopeful than me. Its not going to change. Things are are not going to change overnight. The Obama Administration has tun more of these investigations of Police Departments than any other administration. A lot of people in the Academic Community say president obama has not done anything or enough for race. Youre saying that he has done more than any other administration. More but still not enough. 24 investigations. 18,000 Police Departments in the country. In contrast to his predecessors. Including democrats. I dont think any of them have done anywhere near that. He has done way more than any other president on these issues. You have 18,000 Police Departments and y
